automobile industry was somewhat able to stay resistant to the depression. While doing this paper, I found it interesting that even during such a dark time in American history, the automobile industry was still able to achieve some accomplishments. Some of the additions to cars during the 1930’s are still with modern cars of today, such as electric windshield wipers and a trunk to store luggage. Unfortunately for the industry, production of these automobiles went down because of the financial situation in America. But with the use of steel, and the idea of streamlining, car designers now had a much larger variety of designs that could be used. Overall, from my perspective, it looks like the automobile industry did as much as it could during the decade of the 1930’s
